the thing that drives me absolutely crazy though is that gortash is presented as this commanding dominating tyrant and yet it's consistently shown that the thing he appreciates about durge (or tav for that matter) is when they're not willing to submit to him & when they are strong enough to either stand against him or to stand with him & when they are his equal.

an insane thing for someone like him to want. you'd think he'd want to rule alone and yet the insight checks all show that he actually prefers to share so long as there's someone around worth sharing with.

"Half a smile shows he is teasing you. He doesn't think for one moment you'd fully submit to him. Nor should a spawn as formidable as you."

Title: The Glass Jar and the Storm

In a bustling town by the sea, there lived an old glassmaker named Rafi. He was known for crafting the finest glass jars—clear, flawless, and strong. Every jar had a purpose, and every customer left with something meaningful. One day, a curious teenager named Meera visited his shop. “Can I learn how to make one?” she asked. Rafi smiled. “Of course. But it takes patience.” Days turned into…

"Reflections in the Glass"

I stand in the glass,

where shadows stretch long and light fractures clean.

My hands, calloused from gripping dreams too tight,

trace the cracks,

wondering if strength is the grip

or the grace to let go.

In the marrow of my bones,

there's fire that won't yield,

a rhythm carved from midnight hours

and echoes of the streets that raised me.

Yet, beneath the bravado,

there’s a tremor in the pulse,

the quiet fear of slipping

before the city hears my name.

I wear resilience like armor,

but inside,

I’m a poet bleeding ink,

wrestling ghosts

and chasing futures

that flicker like neon signs in the rain.

To know myself,

I peel back the layers—

Strength, the roar in my chest when I rise again.

Weakness, the doubt that lingers

when the world turns its back.

But maybe both are fuel,

fire and ash,

the beauty and the bruise,

shaping something raw,

something real,

something that won’t break

even when the glass shatters.

Before I Have a Daughter

maybe not have one! Before I have a daughter, I want to learn how to love myself. Not in the surface-level way where I post affirmations I don’t believe, but in the quiet, unshakable way that feels like coming home. I want her to grow up knowing that loving yourself doesn’t mean being perfect—it means forgiving your own messes, laughing at your quirks, and showing up anyway. I want to travel to…
